About this session
Enrolling and retaining patients in clinical trials remains a significant challenge, particularly among underrepresented groups such as Hispanic, Latino, Black, and African American populations. Our research highlights actionable strategies that sites and staff can implement to improve participation and retention. Key resources identified include: offering study visits closer to patients' homes, providing flexible scheduling, reimbursing out-of-pocket expenses, delivering regular study updates, and compensating patients for their time. In this talk, we will delve into these resources in more detail, offering examples of how clinical sites can integrate these solutions to enhance participant support and retention, especially for those from underrepresented communities, toward providing the support that patients find most impactful in improving their ability to stay enrolled throughout the trial.
